Phuket House Project

Phuket House Project: steel-framed building in Thailand, 2020. World Steel – structural steel fabricator in Vietnam – provided design, fabrication and supply.

Phuket House Project is a steel-framed building in Thailand. World Steel designed, fabricated and supplied the steel structure, exported in 2020. Design and fabrication follow US structural steel standards – AISC 360, AWS D1.1 and ASTM materials.

World Steel handles each multi-storey steel building as one package – shop drawings, fabrication and surface protection – from its factory in Tay Ninh, Vietnam. Steel structures for Thailand leave Vietnam as an export steel structure package – marked members, bolts and erection drawings for the site team.
